Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect solvent cement not rated for polycarbonate.Always use a solvent cement specifically formulated and recommended for polycarbonate to ensure proper bonding and prevent material degradation.
Over-tightening threaded connections, leading to stress cracking.Hand-tighten threaded connections followed by a quarter-turn with a wrench, or use appropriate torque specifications to avoid over-stressing the polycarbonate material.

Common Applications

  • Pressurized fluid handling systems
  • Sight glass applications
  • Protective enclosures and guards

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not suitable for use with strong organic solvents or aromatic hydrocarbons, which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without proper UV stabilizers, as this can cause yellowing and embrittlement over time.
